Post Status Comments (No. 9) — State of WordPress Market Share
How should the WordPress community react with the first recorded dip in WordPress market share? Is a small dip something to be concerned about or more of an opportunity to examine what defines WordPress as a successful platform? Is the speed of the Gutenberg project, other core features, or the level of innovation seen in other competitors a factor? Should certain entities in the WordPress space be playing a bigger role in contributing to WordPress? Special guests Joost de Valk, Alex Denning, and Jessica Frick discuss these subjects with host David Bisset (and near the end Ben Gabler joins in).
